This power point discusses the concepts of rotation and revolution of the Earth. It explains that rotation causes day and night and revolution causes the seasons. Additionally, it provides facts about the Earth such as its average distance from the moon and sun, that it takes 365 days to orbit the sun in an elliptical orbit, and that its axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees.

7. Earth Facts
• The average distance to the moon from the earth

• The average distance to the sun from the earth is
93,020,000 miles.
• The Earth’s axis is an imaginary line that goes
through the center of the Earth from the north
pole to the south pole.
• It takes the Earth 365 days to go all the way
around the sun. The orbit is shaped like an
ellipse.
